Vince Russo's 5 dumbest ideas

4: All the “pole” matches

Russo had an obsession with “pole” matches.

If there’s anything that Vince Russo is more synonymous with that bad storylines, it’s his obsession with various kinds of “pole” matches. From his idea of the “pole” match with Judy Bagwell on a forklift to the absolutely horrible piñata on a pole match, these were aberrations to wrestling and not the cutting age product that Russo had envisioned them to be. And, let’s not forget the “Viagra on a pole match” between Shane Douglas and Billy Kidman nor the “leather jacket on a pole match” that involved Tank Abbott of all people.

It is matches like these that sometimes make wrestling fans look like absolute nutjobs. Thanks for that Vince, now go back to being the “creative genius” you are.
